[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm just not interested in your digital Amish lifestyle.  Transportation is supposed to reduce the time distance and create connections between disparate geographic areas not increase time distance and separation.[/quote]

That's fine. You can keep driving, if you want. Nobody is taking your car away from you.[/quote]

Except that your compatriots want to do that too[/quote]

no, we don't.[/quote]

Stop with the Trumpian lies.  We've all seen the posts demanding that DC be car free.[/quote]

Even if some people want to post anonymously insisting that D.C. should be car-free, obviously everyone knows that's never going to happen. So it doesn't really seem like it makes sense to demand that people who (a) disagree with those people but (b) still want to find a way to make it easier to bike on roads with a lot of car traffic should have to defend a random more extreme position than the one they actually espouse. I want bike lanes. I don't want D.C. to be car-free. I'm happy to argue about the bike lanes, but I don't really care what some people who also want the bike lanes say they want. They're not getting it. They're probably not getting the bike lanes, either, but at least the bike lanes are vaguely in the realm of public discussion, which "ban cars!" is not.[/quote]
